Easy Pecan Pie

Corn syrup is not the same as high fructose corn syrup. You can toast the nuts days in advance. A metal pie ring will keep the edges of the crust from over-baking. I use a standard Pyrex 9-inch pie pan. - Jenny Jones

Easy Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

    Crust:
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (low fat or whole milk)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)

  • Filling:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup (not the same as high fructose corn syrup)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted & cooled

Instructions:

    Crust:
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. For the crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Add milk and oil all at once. Stir with a fork.
  4. Shape into a 5-inch disc and pat into the pan or place between 2 sheets of floured wax paper and roll into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to pan. Trim edges and use trimmings to patch where needed. Set aside.
  5. Filling:
  6. With an electric mixer on medium, combine all ingredients except pecans (takes about a minute).
  7. On lowest speed, stir in pecans.
  8. Pour into prepared pan, place pie ring on the rim and bake for about 35 minutes or until the center jiggles just a little. Cool completely before serving.

Notes: To make chocolate-pecan pie, simply add two tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder to the filling. Chocolate chips can also be added.

    I had managed to make it 41 years without ever baking a Pecan pie, but after trying this recipe I hope I live at least another 41 so that I can make this pie every Thanksgiving for my family (it’s that darn good!) Thanks for everything that you do 🙂

    We used to get chess pie in grade school, back in the days when we had real cooks. Think your recipe would be like your pie without the nuts? My husband is allergic to nuts but not peanut oil (strange) or olive oil.
